KKR is investing in Coastal GasLink, despite concern expressed for sovereignty in decisionmaking for Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, ongoing lawsuits and concerns about climate, missing and murdered Indigenous community members, and impacts from the pipeline on lands, air, and waterways.
The project worked closely with Supreme Court of British Columbia to gain use of hundreds of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to terrorize the Indigenous land defenders seeking to protect their homelands. All of the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs have unanimously opposed Coastal GasLink and served the project an eviction notice.
